Con La Tierra Encoma

When I die I don't want you to cry
Have a party with fireworks and flowers,
Serve wine and bring the mariachis
So they can sing me my own songs.

When I die take me to the hill
So they can wake me at the foot of an oak tree,
Instead of a coffin put a mat
And instead of candles bottles of wine.

And if I die far from the love I want
Send a letter and have them come right away,
So they can kiss me as a farewell
When they leave me with the earth on top.

When I die release doves
So my soul can go on their wings,
Get permission in the church of my town
For the bells to ring for me.

And if I die far from the love I want
Send a letter and have them come right away,
So they can kiss me as a farewell
When they leave me with the earth on top.
